\n
Vice Chairman of the Defense and Interior Committee in Parliament, Superintendent Peter Lanchenie Toobu, has expressed the Committee\u2019s readiness to support Ntim Fordjour in providing evidence for his recent drug trafficking allegations at Kotoka International Airport (KIA).<\/p>\n
Mr. Toobu disclosed that while Committee members are typically expected not to make public security-related matters, his colleague, Rev. Fordjour, violated these rules when he publicly aired his claims about drug trafficking and money laundering at the airport.<\/p>\n
Rev. Ntim Fordjour, the Ranking Member on the Defense and Interior Committee, recently claimed that intelligence sources indicated an air ambulance and a private jet had arrived at KIA on March 12 from Gran Canaria, Spain, a region known for drug trafficking and money laundering activities.<\/p>\n
In response, Government Spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu dismissed the claims made by the Member of Parliament for Assin South, urging Rev. Fordjour to provide evidence to support his allegations.<\/p>\n
Though Fordjour has yet to produce any evidence, he has expressed doubts about the government\u2019s explanation of the situation.<\/p>\n
Speaking on , Mr. Toobu emphasized that Rev. Fordjour had violated the Committee\u2019s rules by going public with sensitive information.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it comes to security, members on the Defense and Interior Committee are not supposed to go public no matter what information you have. The information is shared with the Committee and the Minister, and where members are not satisfied, it is taken to the floor of Parliament. So, Rev. Ntim Fordjour violated the Committee rules,\u201d Toobu stated.<\/p>\n
However, Toobu made it clear that despite this breach, the Committee remains supportive of Rev. Fordjour.<\/p>\n
\u201cRev. Ntim Fordjour is still a member of the Committee, and we will rally behind him if he is invited to provide evidence for his claims of drug trafficking and money laundering at the airport.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Wa West lawmaker further explained that the Defense and Interior Committee is a sensitive body, and recalled how his colleague, Kennedy Agyapong, maintained discretion during his tenure as Chairman.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why we all knew how vocal Kennedy is, but when he was Chairman of that Committee, he never took anything out. That is how members are required to behave.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Toobu concluded by saying he would not be surprised if Rev. Fordjour eventually provides evidence to back his claims but would be shocked if no evidence materializes after the public allegations.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
